So Vivzie Or Faustisse (I Cant Remember Which Of Them It Was) Said That Niffty Isn't Very Smart, And

So Vivzie or Faustisse (I cant remember which of them it was) said that Niffty isn't very smart, and she definitely acts a lot younger than her canon age, so I came up with a tragic little headcanon to explain it:

Niffty grew up in an abusive home and when she was around twelve or thirteen her dad struck her head very hard with a frying pan. This caused her be developmentally stunted. Husk and Alastor are aware of this, which is why they're so patient with her.

Listening to Hozier is all fun and games until he sings "I do not have wings, love, I never will" and suddenly you're ten years old again. Just a ten year old Catholic school girl terrified of hell and desperately trying to be good enough for heaven.

Only they are allowed to parent me

Husk when Mimzy appears is just the most annoyed look ever while Nifty is just enjoying her singing 💀

The way I view my childhood is weird because on the one hand, I strongly disagree with how I was raised. But on the other hand, everything was so much simpler before I started questioning. Ignorance really is bliss.

When I was a kid we had a big box collection of scholastic videos and in every video you would be reada story and shown it through animation that kept the art style of the original picture book.

There's one in particular that I keep thinking about but can't remember the name of. It's about an old woman with a cat who adopts a dog. The cat is immediately very jealous and tries to get rid of the dog. Eventually they succeed, but upon the dog's disappearance the old woman becomes depressed (or sick, I hardly remember) and refuses to leave her bed. She keeps asking where the dog is and the cat brings him back, having learned that the old woman's happiness is more important than their pride.

I'm hoping against all hope that someone else is familiar with this story and can tell me the name. I don't think I'll know rest until then.
